Zusammenfassung
Im Hinblick auf die umschriebenen Leberveränderungen werden in diesem Beitrag zunächst die zur Verfügung stehenden bildgebenden Untersuchungsverfahren dargestellt. Die sich daran anschließende Charakterisierung der einzelnen Läsionen folgt einer Einteilung in drei Gruppen (Läsionen mit typischer Bildgebung, solche mit führender Klinik und solche mit schwieriger Diagnostik), bevor abschließend die diagnostische Strategie bei fokalen Leberläsionen noch einmal zusammenfassend dargestellt wird.
Abstract
This contribution first describes the imaging modalities available for focal hepatic changes. A subsequent characterization of the individual lesions is followed by a classification in three groups: lesions with typical imaging features, lesions in the presence of dominating clinical findings, and lesions posing a difficult diagnostic problem. Finally, the diagnostic strategy for focal liver lesions is summarized.
Key words
